Let's make MEMORIES! Here are pictures of our YOUTH in ACTION spreading God's love one step at a time!
9th Grade Confirmation Class 2026
Our newest Confirmation Class assembled over 40 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes on Sunday, November 2, 2025 and had a great time doing it! This annual event is sponsored by the Samaritan's Purse Organization which sends these boxes filled with quality gifts for children to more than 209 million children in more than 170 countries and territories.
On January 11 the 9th grade Confirmation class assembled about 175 snack bags of nutritional breakfast items to benefit the neighborhood children of the Catholic Worker House AND the Kids' Cafe of the House of Bread both located in Hartford. THANK YOU to the parents and parishioners who have donated so much food to make this event an absolute success! Both organizations were very appreciative of the difference our teens have made for those in need.
